🥳 New #Approval!
Actually, two approvals, but let’s take it one step at a time. The applicant works remotely for a Russian company and is temporarily living in Uzbekistan. They applied for a Spanish Schengen visa at the BLS Visa Center in Tashkent.
In addition to the standard documents, we also submitted: — The applicant’s registration in Uzbekistan (which can even be done at a hotel). — Bank statements from both a Russian bank and a bank in Uzbekistan to show the money trail: the applicant receives their salary in rubles on a Russian card and then transfers the funds to an Uzbek account. — Round-trip tickets to and from Spain.
Documents submitted: January 11
Visa approval: January 25, for 15 days. The applicant hadn’t had a Schengen visa in the last 5 years.
Applying for a residence permit (NIE).
Since the visa was short, all documents were ready for the applicant’s arrival in Spain.
An unusual detail: we had to provide police clearance certificates from both Russia and Uzbekistan. The Uzbek certificates were translated by a sworn translator from Russian. Apostilles in Uzbek and English were left untranslated. We also included pay stubs and a bank statement for the last three months.
Document submission: March 2
Approval without additional requests: March 19
